I’m wondering what size compressor I might need to run two framing nailers at once and also if if is possible to somehow link two small compressors (i.e. 6 gal. 2 hp) onto one hose. Any ideas?

Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

>>is possible to somehow link two small compressors...onto one hose.<< yes, an archive search will produce hundreds of discussions on this topic.
Scroll all the way down to the end of the forum, type in "two compressors" in the search box. You will probably get an old thread about "pipes" - don't panic, be patient and the electronic squirrels will change the thread soon.
Hours of reading available on this topic. Enjoy.
